How well does this cook 1in thick steaks?

It depends on if you like yours rare, medium rare or well done. It does a rare to medium rare great. But if you like it well done to very well done, no pink showing at all, not so much. It just refuses to cook any further than medium rare.

No, this knife is difficult to operate easily. I would try a different brand that specifically states its use on thick rind foods. Best wishes. Angelica

The hinge isn't adjustable, but I've had success cooking many different cuts, up to a steak that was nearly 2 inches thick. The sides still cooked well even though the grill didn't close the entire way.

You can make them up to about a half inch thick. It just depends on how much meat you put in them.

If you have a micro wave in the 1300 watt power range it does well. It will even sear the meat. I have a 1350 watt micro wave and can turn out a medium well steak seared on both sides in about 6 minutes. The power your micro wave matters.

I have been able to cook some very good salmon, tilapia, and red snapper on this griddle--as for "meats," that's pretty general, but I would say yes to THIN meats. In other words, you probably wouldn't want to try to sear a roast on this, but for mostly thin meats (chicken strips, bacon, thin flank steak, ect) it should be perfectly capable. As for shipping, I have no idea.

It adjusts to any thickness! If you are cooking more than one steak or chop, they should be boneless and uniform thickness. When we cook boneless chicken breasts, we pound the thicker part down a little to make them more uniform. But you can cook 1" steaks or bigger, if you like! We love it!!

It is really not a very powerful grill. The temperature at the lid thermometer gets up quickly. But with only 22000 BTU, the grate does not have as much heat as a 40000+ BTU grill.It will sear a steak with some time but it is not as powerful I had hoped.

The sear station raises the temperature about 200 degrees sealing in the juices. I cook 2 minutes on each side and move off of the high temperature for 5 minutes on a side for medium rare delicious steak in 14 minutes. A much better flavor than without the sear station

It's not extremely hot. I tried making thick burgers on mine , and it did not perform well. For thin ( 4oz) burgers, dogs, and veggies, it would be OK. Definitely does not work well in cold weather, the heat escapes to easily, and windy conditions. I ended up buying a Weber Q120 grill instead for these performance issues.

I don't cook much but my wife is an iron chef and she hasn't had a problem with this grill. We need it because of the apartment law in CA. Chicken, prime rib, links, rib eye, etc. We use it a few times a week. And it's not expensive so give it a try

Medium rare steaks are not 155 degrees. They are 132 degrees.But no, this does not work good on steaks and thinner cuts of meats. It is better for roasts.

I haven't used the thing but my wife was quite impressed with it, she did cook a slab of ribs and they were delicious. It looks like you could comfortably cook a decent sized (family of 4or5) beef or pork roast.

I have had good luck with inserting it about 1/2 way into the meat I'm cooking and am getting accurate readings. So if the meat is 1 in. thick I insert the thermometer about 1/2 inch.

If you truly love to grill meat, like thick steaks, you will honestly love this thick heavy duty grill. I'd say it.'s about 3/8" thick. Awesome grill marks every time. You can throw away that cheap thin wire grill that comes standard with a Weber. Easy to clean too. Extremely highly rated if you like those restaurant-style grill marks.

ZANNE F. You will like them, I heat them up in the oven at 500 Deg., then turn on the broiler. I cook the steaks for two minutes per side. That's for med rare steak. Have no complaints other then the first time I used them you may note the odder of burn wood from the base. CMoski
